I still don’t understand why we were told that dumping the body was in tradition with Islamic law. I also don’t understand why there were so many versions of events out in those early days. Sure, the basic story stayed the same; Pakistan, bin Laden, Marines, raid, 9/11 – but details of shoot-outs (or not), female hostages (or not), an armed bin Laden (or not), who could see what and when (or not) at the White House and other tidbits of info were flipping like a coin at a football game.

It seems a shame that after 10 years of war and sweeping legislative changes including such heinous laws as the Patriot Act and the NDAA, we still are surrounded by force-fed fear-mongering in order to keep the war-profiteers making their money.
